Not great

3.00This was okay, but not what I expected from the description. The ferry ride was very short, the cable car was so packed in that we didn’t even ride it, they put twice as many people in there than they should so overall it was a big disappointment. The narrator was very good, that’s about all that was good.
Very well organised with...

5.00Very well organised with an excellent tour guide and driver. We had a they took us past the main buildings in Zurich old town, then we walked for 15 mins near the main churches. The coach tour continues down the side of Zurich lake, then onto a vehicle ferry to the other bank. Then onto the cable car station, to get the cable car to a lovely cafe/ restaurant at the top of the mountain. One hour of free time to walk, eat or drink. We returned back to the bus station, where we started. 4.5 hours in total.

4.00For the most part, the tour was good. Both the driver and the tour guide were very nice. The main problem was that there was construction and it took us 45 minutes out of our way and then we had to rush around so hopefully when you book your tour, there will not be any construction but otherwise Good value
